Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) tore into scientists as tools of the devil in a speech at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman’s Banquet last month.

“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell,” Broun said.
“And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”

According to Broun, the scientific plot was primar
Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA): Evolution, Big Bang ‘Lies Straight From The Pit Of Hell’ ily concerned with hiding the true age of the Earth. Broun serves
on the House Science Committee, which came under scrutiny recently after another one of its Republican members, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), suggested that
victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses against pregnancy.

People actually choose to believe the infinite Universe had a beginning and will have an end are curious. Obvious the current analysis is that stellar
objects are in their expansive cycle at this time, at this OBSERVABLE section of the Universe. Just because we don't have the technology to observe
nor detect farther away does not mean there is nothing there. Like maybe a part of the Universe the size of our own observable one in contraction.

So what is this that can limit space or time again? The human mental ability of conception means something can't exist?

You want a consiracy about science - there's one right there - the Republicans want to destroy the scientific basis of America's prosperity!

Let's add another one to this thread:

Ala. Chief Justice Candidate: Gay Marriage Will Destroy Nation

The former chief justice, trying to get his old job back, receives applause from Tea Party members after denigrating gays.

BY Neal Broverman -- October 06 2012

Roy Moore, fired from his job as Alabama's most powerful judge in 2003, is scapegoating gays in an effort to get his old job back.

Running to once again be the chief justice of Alabama's supreme court, Moore told a group of Tea Party supporters on Saturday that "same-sex
marriage will lead to the ultimate destruction of our country" (no explanation on why that hasn't already happened since marriage equality is legal
in six states and Washington, D.C.). His statement received applause. Moore also denigrated the Democratic party for supporting LGBT rights.

Moore is remembered for being booted from the state supreme court nine years ago after refusing to remove a monument to the Ten Commandments from the
Alabama Judicial Building. Moore doesn't seem to understand the concept of church and state separation, repeatedly telling his Tea Party supporters
how important God is to government.

"Today we've got to go back to that U.S. Constitution," he said. "We've got to go back to the acknowledgment of God for very basic, relative
reasons. People have forgotten why we need God. But let me tell you, without God, you have no rights."

the Republicans want to destroy the scientific basis of America's prosperity!

And just what exactly is that? Inquiring minds want to know.

Have you been a secret admirer of the Gold Standard? Because that is the closest I can come to a scientific basis for American prosperity.

Oh by the way, the Republican Party seems to be considering the Gold Standard for their party platform, while the Democrat Party has abortion rights
and the welfare state for theirs. Something to think about.

The gold standard scientific? You didn't include a smiley so I have to assume you were serious......which is unsurprising on here!

Yep - another reason to deride hte Reps as backward thinking ignoramuses who have no vision of hte future & no platform other than "the good ol' days"
to push.

Yup, the scientific basis of allowing research, production, design, technology and the pursuit of knowledge to further us as a leader in today's
world. It's been going on for quite some time. From the Wright brothers bringing us flight, Ford bringing us the assembly line and transportation,
the railroads connecting one coast to another, the road systems, the space race, the emphasis on math and science education, those are all part of the
scientific standard that we have embraced and what has moved us forward.

We need to return to our emphasis in achievement in math and science, our emphasis in the pursuit of knowledge and our emphasis on preparing the next
generation to be leaders in the world instead of concentrating on wars and oil and how we can make more money while leaving our children to fend for
themselves.

you're telling on yourself....I have some science for you to see......it's the out-of-place-artifacts......good video that shows the real history.
for first...scouring like in the grand canyon takes place really fast....and the petrified trees can happen in 800 years...I have more, I could fill
volumes, but I'm interested in your thinking right now...

all this from Texas...the home of the creation science museum...I'm tellin' ya, I gots a plenty more. I want you to refuse to be a
victim!!

Yeah... this is one of those guys who make me embarrassed to live in Georgia. He is about as far
right as they come and he preys upon a particular cultural aspect and truth of the area regarding racial issues.

Atlanta is an example of a city still experiencing the phenomenon of white flight and the result
is that the city of Atlanta, itself, is predominantly Black and the suburbs, especially to the north of town, are almost exclusively Caucasian. There
is still a lot of racial tension here and this guy preys upon people with fears that should have been put to rest about 160 years ago, but, for
some reason, still exist here.

He, ironically, lives in Athens which is sort of a pocket of liberal ideals in that region. But, overall, he panders to an electorate who are largely
Caucasian, deeply religious ( evangelicals), and very resistant to change of any kind. Truly an area where you can still find folks who rant about
Abraham Lincoln and the evils he perpetrated upon this great country.

I feel ya! Eastern Kentucky is much the same way. You'll have pockets of "civilization" here and there, then other areas that are almost 100%
caucasian and extremely "Bible-beltish". Luckily, there are many who are Christian and Liberal and counter balance the extremists groups.

You can travel 20 miles and feel like you've traveled back in time 150 years. You can have a great little town where people see each other equally,
where there is a strong sense of community, where it's downright "old fashioned", much like Mayberry, then the next town over seems like it was the
basis for the kkk stereotype.

Even today, you can still hear the phrase "Lee surrendered, I didn't"... I kid you not!

Look, some guy makes a goofy statement about the age of the earth and suddenly all Republicans are denying "the scientific basis" of "American
prosperity". One does not have to believe in Darwin's theory of evolution to appreciate the science behind building an airplane. But I find it
immensely amusing that while people are declaring Republicans to be against the "Scientific basis of American prosperity", liberals are attacking the
corporations which design, build, and market these things. Liberals attack the free market way of making money and profit, and yet say it is
Republicans attacking the scientific basis....meaning physics, electronics or whatever else.
So you think that physics is the basis for this prosperity, but not the attitude or the economics. I say our country has been prosperous in spite of
the welfare state, the nanny state and fiat money. I think you do not realize the value of the Gold Standard in an economic system. The dollar once
was based on the value of gold it represented. We were taken off the gold standard and our currency has been replaced by fiat money printed and
printed and printed by those in power, leaving us a mountain of debt, and you are lecturing me about the basis of our prosperity.

Also I would mention that our first Commander in Chief George Washington was at the forefront of the Revolution which allowed for the freedom to
pursue this prosperity.
Science is the basis for design of many things, but the freedom to pursue it came with the price of many lives.

I'm not even going to legitimize what you said up there by quoting, because the bulk of the text is irrelevant. But really, I just need to ask you
this because I'm really curious; what if the person you're replying to isn't a liberal? Because you can attack liberals all you want, and even be
right, but that's irrelevant if the person agrees with you.

Basically what I'm saying is that people don't like to eat red herring much, and would appreciate it if you could stay with the topic that was at
hand, which was about how elements of the republican party, the element being the god fearing and preaching, praise jesus culture preying upon sort,
seem to denigrate scientific progress and yet hold an economic position that has only been made possible by that very same scientific progress.

Can you post a youtube video on one of these alleged attacks on corporations?

I swear you hear exactly what you want to hear and make up the rest as you go along.

Liberals are concerned with how the decisions of corporations effect America and our lives,
sort of how you feel about government.

Did you notice that many corporations robbed America in 2008? Do you think that was
a good thing, are liberal evil for noticing it?
